(Nagisa's POV)

I looked over at Karasuma who explained that the trip to Kyoto would be a great chance to assassinate Koro-sensei and I smiled at Kayano and she whispered "We will need more people though." I nodded and looked towards Sugino who nodded and I smiled and whispered "Sugino is in." She nodded and then said "So is Okuda, who else?" I stood up and said "I'll ask Karma, you can ask another and then we are equal." She nodded and said "But who do I ask?" I shrugged and went over to Karma who smiled and said "Can I join you guys?" I nodded and said "We just need a couple more then we are done." He glanced at Shinko and I followed his direction to find her sat in the corner with her head in her knees and I smiled and said "You go and ask her, I will find out who Kayano has asked." I walked back to our group and found Kanzaki stood there and I knew that Sugino a crush on her and I said "I have got Karma and I told him to choose someone and he said Shinko…is that alright?" They all nodded and Okuda whispered "Do you think anyone will fall in love on this trip?" I shrugged and looked back at Karma who was helping Shinko up and said "Who can truly say what will happen?" Karma walked over and said "It looks like our group is complete then?" I nodded and looked over at Shinko who smiled and looked towards the ground.

(Shinko's POV)

Up until Karma asked me to join their group for the Kyoto trip I was planning a solo mission in which I assassinate Koro-sensei on my own but I knew the others wouldn't appreciate me doing that so I decided to take Karma up on his offer. I watched the way Okuda acted around Karma and I sighed, I knew they liked each other because Okuda had come to me asking if I could ask Karma out for her but I told her to do it herself or it won't sound right coming from me. I had always had a thing for Karma since I first met him at one of my father's parties in which his father was in attendance with Karma. I was about 12 at the time and I had been forced to wear a dress and to be honest I hated it but Karma thought I looked beautiful as he put it and since then I always wanted to be with him. When we attended the same Junior High I was amazed but I knew he was smart and his father was rich which is essentially why he got in but I knew he could never truly love me.

I smiled when they suggested places and I nodded when they asked me questions but inside I wanted to hide and never come out again. I placed my head in my hands and that's when Kanzaki said "Shinko? Is there anywhere you would like to go in Kyoto?" I looked at the group and shook my head saying "I'm happy just following your plan…please I don't mind." And with that I glanced out of the window at the late spring afternoon and sighed, if felt amazing to be free and out of that prison but how long would this last? What if we did manage to assassinate him on this trip to Kyoto? I would never be able to go back. I stood up and said "I'm going for fresh air, who knows how long it will be before I get another chance at being free." And with that I walked back out and into the courtyard, where I could be alone.

(Karasuma's POV)

I watched as Shinko left and I sighed, I had heard the conversation she had just had and I sighed, she really didn't want to kill Tentacles because she knew if she did it was back to prison for her, but why didn't her dad just bail her out? He never really cared about me; he was quite abusive towards me when I failed. I shook my head and continued to help Isogai's group plan where they could shoot the target. I shook my head and tried to concentrate on the task I was currently doing but with her on the edge and so close that she is willing to do anything not to get back into jail I can't concentrate. I stood up and said "Nagisa, can you go and check she is alright" he nodded and walked off after her and I sighed and walked over to Nagisa's group and began helping them plot a route.

(Shinko's POV)

I sat outside on the field just by the goal posts for football and I sighed and looked up at the cloudless day, what I wouldn't give to see this until the day I die. "Hey Shin, is everything alright?" I glanced up at Nagisa and smiled saying "Yeah, just pondering what my life would be like when this assassination is over." Nagisa came and sat next to me and said "I'm sure you will be alright…we will all support you until then." I looked down and said "Who knows…anyone could kill him on this trip to Kyoto…then what?" Nagisa sighed and said "I feel sorry for you." I scoffed and said "Don't be, I'm used to the life of prison…It's more a routine than anything." I got up and said "C'mon we have planning to do." And with that I pulled him up and walked back to the classroom.

*Hours later – at night – Shinko's POV*

I walked back from the field where I was helping Karasuma set up for tomorrow when shuffling could be heard and I turned to find Asano Junior with his four idiots and I sighed and said "What do you want Gakushu?" he laughed and said "I wondered if you stayed at school or not? It seems clear that you haven't been released from prison so why are you here?" I looked down…to break the contract with the government would mean I would be placed back in prison. I clenched my fists and said "I'm not telling you anything Asano…if you're so desperate ask your father." He growled and said "He won't tell, but he seems awfully interested in the grades of E class." I backed off until I was up against the shed which kept the gym equipment and Gakushu advanced and said "If we have to beat you up again we will." I gulped and said "F…Fine…" and with that Asano proceeded with his hardest punch and I landed hard on the ground but Teppei and Ren grabbed my arms and hauled me back up against the wood of the shed and Gakushu took several other hits to my stomach and face. He bent down to my level punched my stomach with everything he had.

I whined in pain and Gakushu said "Is this secret really worth getting beat up for?" I spat out blood and glared up at him but just then Karasuma came out of the shed and shouted "Oi, Leave her alone before I report you all to the government for defacing their property." I lowered my head and Asano turned and said "Fine, see you tomorrow night Shinko." And with that I was dropped to the ground and I watched them leave and I sighed groaned as I fell down the shed. Karasuma came over and said "Shinko? Are you alright kid?" I nodded and he sighed and said "We can't keep you here; you will be hurt if I do." I sighed but then Karasuma picked me up bridal style and said "I will make arrangements in the morning, right now you need those cuts attending to." I leaned against his chest and whispered "Why…Why do you care about me?" He sighed and said "Because I have seen what this system is doing to you and it is killing me watching the students being bullied but this is the extreme end of this." I closed my eyes and said "Karasuma, this is what Principle Asano wants." And with that I tried to get off but he growled and said "Shinko, no student deservers this so listen to me. I am going to make a promise to you that I will defend the whole of E class to the best of my abilities." I nodded and soon pain took me over and I passed out badly.

*The day of Kyoto – Nagisa's POV*

I looked around to try and find Shinko but she hadn't appeared yet and I creased my brow and said "Karma, have you seen Shinko?" He shook his head but then Okuda said "Guys, here she comes. Why does she look like she has been dragged through a bush backwards?" I looked at Shinko to see cuts and bruises crossing her face and no doubt she had more elsewhere. She walked up to us and said "Hey guys, sorry I'm late I had to go to and get some stitches from the hospital." I creased my brow and said "Are you kidding me? What happened this time?" She lowered her head and said "It's nothing…" but then Karasuma butted in saying "Gakushu Asano decided to take hits on her, when we get back if we don't succeed here then you will be living with me until it is over…if that is okay with you?" Shinko nodded and said "Honestly, you didn't have to." He slapped the back of her head and said "You aren't going to be beaten up every time I leave you alone, so you are coming home with me." And then Jelavic came up behind Karasuma and said "Can I come home with you too?" Karasuma peeled her off and said "No! Now get on the train." Shinko sighed and said "I'm going to nick name you Growler…it really suits you."

(Shinko's POV)

Another slap to the back of the head and Nagisa laughed and said "Carry on this way Shinko and he will send you back to hospital." I smiled and said "I have no doubt he could…but to be honest I hope I don't have to find out." Nagisa laughed and said "C'mon then guys, we still have the finishing touches to put to the plan." I smiled at Karasuma and said "I'm grateful for you putting your neck on the line for me." He nodded and said "On, before the train leaves." I laughed as he gently pushed me on and I walked over to Nagisa and the rest and said "He is really scary." Karma laughed and said "He is a puppy dog really." I smirked and then Karasuma shouted "Akabane, if you compare me to a dog again I will see to it that you don't get involved in the assassination attempt." I sniggered and said "Yeah…Akabane." Karma tackled me to the seat and pinned my arms saying "Oh Yunmi, you are just getting the Growler to back you up here, and that's not fair." I smiled and said "Anyone would think you liked me Karma." Karma blushed and said "I don't know what you mean." I pushed up and knocked him back over and said "You're the one that tackled me to the seat." And with that I sat up and looked at Nagisa and winked.

Karma snorted and said "You're the same as always Shinko, never let anyone rule you." I smiled and said "Oh c'mon Karma, I'm not that bad." Nagisa pushed my shoulder and said "Knock it off you two, we need your help to plan this you know?" I smiled and said "Sure, tell Karma that as well…he is the one pouncing on me like a wild animal." Karasuma came over and pulled me to his seat and said "I'm in charge of your wellbeing; I will not have you being pounced on or hurt by anyone." I slumped and said "But sir, I have to help my group." Karasuma looked at me with a glare and I closed my mouth and whispered "Understood sir, stay here and stay safe." Then Jelavic began "He's is like your father in some ways huh?" I smiled and said "At least he knows how to take care of me…I would be honoured to have Karasuma as a father." Karasuma blushed and said "I'm sure your father would have something to say about that." I nodded and said "Yeah, go ahead I don't want that failure in my family is what he would say." Karasuma patted my head and said "Cheer up; I'm sure he misses you." I snorted and said "Even when I was around he ignored me until my grades were below a B and then he would hit me and punish me." Jelavic came over and said "Karasuma and I could adopt you…we would make good parents." I snorted and Karasuma turned his head and said "We would at least have to be partners for that and I would never go out with you." I sighed and said "I think you would make the perfect couple." Both glared at me and I lowered my head and sighed.

*After the journey and they arrive in Kyoto – Shinko's POV*

I looked at the living quarters and sighed, I bet the others were having a swell time in their 5 star hotel. I shook my head and laid the suitcase that Karasuma had provided for me down and that's when Okuda said "Shinko? Do you need help with anything?" I smiled at her and said "No I'm alright thank you, do you need help?" She shook her head and said "Do you like Karma?" I smiled a little and said "I…er…" but just then Nakamura jumped on the band-waggon and said "You must like him, you didn't push him off when he pounced on you before." I blushed a little and said "That was…" but before I could finish Okano began "Yeah and you guys are always mumbling at the back of the class together." I waved my hands desperately saying "N…No we just…" but I was once again interrupted by Megu who smiled and said "And you always attempt an assassination with him. Now spill, do you like him?" I buried my now tomato red face into my hands and said "I…I…" but then a laugh was heard and I looked up to find Terasaka and I growled and said "Don't you even think…" but before I could finish he was gone and I bolted up and chased after him.

He turned many corners and then bolted into the boy's room and I sighed and shouted "Terasaka! If you rat you're dead!" Karma then opened the door and I blushed and said "I suppose you heard…can you get me Terasaka?" He smirked and said "What's the magic phrase?" I growled and lowered my voice saying "Karma is the best boy I have ever met." Then wild laughter could be heard and I opened the door and saw Terasaka at the back and I strode over to him and said "Don't tell or…" Terasaka then came close and said "Or what? What can you do exactly? You can't kill me, so what will you do?" I lowered my gaze and then Isogai began "Are you blackmailing her Terasaka?" I sighed and said "Just don't tell, I don't want that being revealed." Terasaka smiled and said "Too late, Karma you have an admirer…and her name is Shinko." I lowered my gaze and ran from the room to prevent further humiliation and in hopes of never showing my face again.

(Karma's POV)

Shinko likes me? Surely this was a joke…right? But the way she ran out nearly in tears was enough to convince me it wasn't. Isogai then began "Terasaka that was cruel and not needed, she clearly didn't want to admit it so why do that to her?" Terasaka closed his eyes in triumph and said "It had to come out eventually, I figured now was the best time." I crunched up my fists and said "Yeah well, think of her feelings before you spout more rubbish." And with that I ran in the opposite direction to Shinko and the rest of the morons in the class. How could she like me? I was a nobody compared to who liked her in the class. I sat in a tree close to the hotel and watched the night go by when I heard voices and I hid in the tree more and I realised it was Shinko and Hinano talking and I began to listen. "I'm sure he doesn't think you an idiot Shinko, Terasaka is an idiot and I'm sure Karma doesn't mind you liking him." I heard the sob of Shinko and she sniffled "I nearly lost my temper but I didn't want Karma to see that side of me again, Hinano…I really do like him but I never wanted to ask him for the fear of sounding stupid. Now he knows I fear he'll reject me as a friend." Hinano hugged her and said "Don't worry, he won't…he will probably just beat Terasaka up." She gasped and said "I can't allow him to do that!" and with that she ran back to the male sleeping quarters.

I jumped down and followed her to make sure no one made a fool of her again. She turned a corner and I shouted "Shinko! I'm not beating him up so stop running." She turned towards me and lowered her head saying "Listen, I…I…" but before she could finish I smiled and grabbed her shoulders and whispered "Don't fret; I understand that you didn't want me to know…but honestly I wouldn't of hated you for it." She lowered her gaze and said "So you don't hate me?" I smiled and said "Of course not, although there are plenty of boys that like you too." She smiled and said "Well, I…don't want any of the other boys…I want…you." I pulled her close and whispered "Same here…" and with that I kissed her on the lips and I released my hands from her shoulders and she placed hers in my hands. Then a cough was heard and I pulled away to see Karasuma and I smiled and said "I'll leave the explaining to you Shinko."

(Shinko's POV)

"But…But…" however I was left alone in the hallway with Karasuma and I looked towards my feet and blushed saying "Just how much of that did you see?" Karasuma crossed his arms and said "Almost all of it, since when were you two a thing?" I blushed deeply and then all the girls came running round the corner saying "Karma just told us, did you really kiss?" I covered my face and nodded and they all squealed saying "That is so cute!" Then the boys came around the corner and Karma walked over to me and said "Hey, don't make her blush any further!" and with that Karma looped his hand around my shoulders and pulled me through the screaming girls and into the living room. Karasuma burst through the door and said "No sex!" Karma looked at me and we both burst out laughing and said "We were going to play pool, what would give you that idea teach?" Karasuma looked at me and Karma and I smiled and picked up a cue before saying "Karma you first." He nodded and set up the table while Karasuma stood there like a fish out of water.

Nagisa came over and said "So…erm…are you two together?" I shrugged and said "Ask Karma, he is the one who kissed me." Karma winked and said "Just maybe…just maybe" and with that our game began and I smiled and watched as the boys and girls gathered around the table to watch our match. I readied for my shot but just as I was about to shoot Karma stopped me and placed his hand on top of mine and whispered "Your posture is wrong, you need to have a stronger stance." I smiled at all the girls who squealed and I turned so our lips were close to kissing and said "You're giving the enemy advice? Treat everything like assassination and we may succeed in killing Koro-sensei." He smiled and said "But are you my enemy or my Alpha?" I smirked and said "I am but a person in this classroom and as such any one of these could be an Alpha." He pushed on the cue and said "Maybe, but we already crowned you Alpha." I stood up and said "If that were true then we would not be in this situation..." and with that I pushed him against the table and said "Now, it's your turn" and I retreated to the other side of the table.

*The next day on the touring spots – Shinko's POV*

I walked down the alley with Karma following behind me and I sighed deeply at the fact that maybe it would finally work. "Kanzaki, why are we here?" Kanzaki turned to me and said "It's the perfect spot for an assassination…secluded and peaceful." I nodded but then another voice called "And perfect for kidnappers." I turned and we all stopped, who was that? Then some high schoolers came out of the shadows and I backed off a little but they soon surrounded our group I glanced back at Karma who readied himself to fight and I gasped and said "What do you want?" The leader smiled and said "We want you pretty little ladies." And with that Karma lunged for the leader but was punched back down and I ran over and screamed "Karma! Are you alright?" He groaned but the closest one grabbed my arm and I winced and tried to grab him but another grabbed my other arm and I began to try and kick. Then Kayano and Kanzaki were grabbed and that's when Nagisa and Sugino lunged but were thrown on top of each other and I screamed but the leader came in front of me and said "You ladies will have a blast with us…honestly." I turned my face away and looked back at Karma before we were thrown into the back of a van.

Kayano and Kanzaki were now unconscious and I winced from the pain in my now tied arms and I looked into the blackness of the van and thought back to the boys and whether they would be alright. A small window opened and the leader smirked and said "Sitting comfortably? No? Well that is a shame…you will be comfortable soon…on my lap." I crunched up and hoped that this was some kind of dream. But I knew that men like this never gave up, I sighed and allowed my body to relax and then he laughed manically and closed the small window again. I felt a tear run down my cheek and I sniffed and hoped to God that someone would rescue us before they could do anything.

The van stopped and then two guys opened the back and pulled the still unconscious Kayano and Kanzaki out of the van and I tried to scoot to the back but the leader pulled my ankle and I was forced out of the van and I glared up at him and he sniggered and said "Aww, don't you look cute when your mad." and with that he pulled my cheek and I growled and said "Piss off!" He then pushed me into some of the other lads and I whined as they pulled me into the warehouse. I watched as they placed the other two on a couch in the far corner but then the leader ordered "Take her to the back, we will do the photography on this one later…I want my fun first." I gulped and he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the cornered off room at the back. I tried to run but he just tugged more and I was soon pushed into the room and thrown on the mattress that was on the floor. I looked up at the boy and closed my eyes and whispered "Please…don't." the boy giggled and said "You will be begging for something else in two moments…so just be patient." I lowered my head and then the boy came over and pulled out a knife and began cutting my uniform off. I glanced at the curtain and hoped that someone would appear soon.

(Karma's POV)

We followed the guidebook towards a warehouse close by and I looked up and clenched my fists, if they had touched any of the girls they were dead. We walked in silently to hear a lot of laughter and I glanced towards the back to see Kayano and Kanzaki but as I looked around I couldn't find Shinko "Nagisa, where is Shinko?" Nagisa shrugged his shoulders and whispered back "I cannot see her…" but before he could finish a scream could be heard and I turned in the direction, instantly I recognised the scream and I burst out of the shadows towards the room but was stopped by a group of lads and I growled and said "Move!" A lot of sniggers came from around the room and one lad said "Oh look, a bunch of junior high kids, what you gunna do huh?" and with that I dodged an attack from one and pushed another one over but soon we were once again surrounded and I gritted my teeth and that's when the leader came from behind a room in which the scream came from and he said "Oh look who we have here, a couple of pipsqueaks and a bookworm. You're a little late mate, the first girl is now ours and our photographer will be here soon." I gritted my teeth and kicked the unconscious body at my feet and said "We already took out your photographer, so you are in trouble my friend."

The leader laughed and said "Oh, that is are back up now." And with that shuffling could be heard coming from the shadows behind us and I growled lowly and then I heard squishy noises and smiled a little…the octopus had arrived.

(Shinko's POV)

I lay on the mattress…naked and hurting, I allowed tears to flow quietly as I awaited the return of the leader and I was sore. Blood trickled from my thighs as it came from my intimate area where he had pushed his blade up and cut the inside of me. I scrunched up and tried to will myself to move but my body froze and I sobbed as I heard commotion outside. Please let that be help and not the other lads hurting Kayano and Kanzaki. Then the door opened and I whined a little but Karma whispered "Shinko…are…you…alright?" I turned to look at him and I saw him falter before I tried to hide my face but he ran over and pulled me so I would look at him and he began "Just hold on, we will get you something to wear." And with that he dashed outside and returned a moment later with a pair of jeans and a pink top and I took the clothes and nodded slightly and he left the room.

He would never touch me again, I must seem so dirty to him…I must look like a right dog. I pulled the clothes on and went to open the door when Koro-sensei opened the door and said "Shinko? Are you alright in here?" I nodded and walked quietly out of the room towards the others and that's when Kayano and Kanzaki ran over and said "Please don't tell me he…" I nodded and walked out of the building and into the darkened street. I was stained and filthy and I just wanted to get back and hide in the corner. The rest of the group came out moments later and I looked back at Karma and sighed before walking back and towards the hotel in hopes of forgetting today ever happened.

*Back at the hotel – Nagisa's POV*

I watched as Isogai and Karma had a table tennis match and I looked over in the corner to see Karma biting his nails which always meant he was either frustrated or irritated and I knew why. The men that had kidnapped the girls had raped Shinko and Karma just wanted to burst, I walked over slowly to him and said "Karma? Are you alright man?" he glanced up and nodded before getting up and walking away. I sighed and continued to watch the table tennis match…there was so much going round in his head right now.

(Shinko's POV)

I sat on the front steps of the hotel and glanced up at the Crescent moon that was now left and sighed, when we told Karasuma what had happened he freaked and told me I wasn't leaving his side until he knew I was in the right mind frame and honestly it felt good to have someone actually caring for me. "Hey Shin, I came to see if you were alright." I turned to find Karma and I smiled and said "Thanks, I'm fine I just need some time alone that's all." He sat beside me and said "I'm never leaving you alone again, I don't want you hurt." And with that he pulled me closer and I leaned on his shoulder and then a lot of cheering could be heard and we turned to find both the boys and girls hanging out of the windows and I smiled and said "Seriously guys? What's the big deal anyway?" Karasuma came from behind and said "They've been taking bets all night to see how long it would take for you two to get close." I rolled my eyes and shouted "Real mature guys!" bursts and fits of laughter could be heard and Karma and I shook our heads and glanced up at the night's sky.
